Close and restart the emulator (as it says in the Japanese dialogue popup appearing) whenever you modify the options for them to take effect. To raise compatibility, you can try with "No Bios" enabled or disabled, and you'll want to start with the MaxCompatibility (slow) option, then try with the faster options (that do not always work).įor some time, SSF requires either an external virtual drive or a specific loader to read disc images. Keep both versions, pre- and post-0.12 just in case. It added support for some of the games such as Astal (needs "Enable SH2 Cache"). Ī major update to 0.12 improved compatibility for certain games and broke others.

It is unknown when the first ever version was released publicly, however, the next version of 'SSF 002' was released on 5th December 1999. The author Shima was, for a time, probably the longest-time active developer on any emulator from the emulator's public launch (Labelled 'SSF 001') in 1999 till 20 years later in late November 2019. Despite this, SSF remains largely clean and it is recommended for users with older PCs. A large number of Saturn games require manual and persnickety editing in the emulator's configuration options to run properly, which makes SSF less easier to use in comparison to other Saturn emulators, and more recently, trojan detections in recent versions caused this emulator to become a risk for some computers. Before the Android release, source code alongside several older builds were uploaded to GitHub in 26 January 2021 and newer builds were uploaded there afterwards, but there were no commits made to the GitHub source code since then. SSF is superior to Yabause and was initially superior to Mednafen with its early Saturn core versions for compatibility, but SSF is closed-source and was made for Windows only until it was released to Android devices in 28 January 2021. These included the Mednafen versions from the late 2010s and onwards with much improved Saturn compatibility, and two WIP derivatives of the old Yabause base called Kronos and Yaba Sanshiro. SSF was once renowned as being the best Saturn emulator from its inception in the early 2000s till around mid-2010s when a slate of newer and open-source Saturn emulation software was first launched.
